SUPER SNOW MOON

This image of the Super Snow Moon was taken from the Pagasa Observatory in UP Diliman on Tuesday (February 19) night using a DSLR camera mounted on a 120mm refractor telescope, with the BusinessMirror photographer getting assistance from Pagasa astronomer Lordnico Mendoza. On Tuesday night, the moon was at perigee—the closest distance of the moon to the Earth within 356,761 kilometers. It was also called a “snow moon” because it appeared in the month of February, where the heaviest snow falls this time of the year.
